Est Notre Étude d'enfants?*
When you start to despair about the state of American education, watch this video:
To translate, for you non-French speakers. The question is "What revolves around the Earth". The four possible answers are "the moon", "the sun", "Mars", and "Venus". Our intrepid guest does not know the answer, so he asks the audience. 56% of the audience selects "the sun" as the correct answer. He goes along with them, and, well, at least he went home with the 1,500 euros he had previously won.
See, now you can despair about the state of global education instead!
I like the first comment on the YouTube page: "Parce que effectivement la france est le centre de l'univers..." Translated: "Because, effectively, France is the center of the universe."
*Loosely translates to "Is our children learning?"

I like the translated title of the YouTube post: "Who wants to gain a neuron?"

That's because French people don't watch MLB to know that Joe Torre's the center of the universe.
